Beautifully done immersive, "moving" experience. It's accompanied by well-chosen music and clever transitions between pieces. I highly recommend. The cushions were good to have and we also got the poster, which is very nice. Walls and molding did have some distorting effects, but overall very nice.

The experience was just ok, their visuals were amazing and sound tracks were picked very brilliantly. There were obviously few issues like projector on one of the wall was not as sharp as the other one, there were small objects like fire extinguisher’s, doors, and small cut hole for windows which were not giving a good impression. For such a great artist and for such a great visual effects and presentation i think they should have picked up the right hall , projecting it on broken ground and wall was not a good idea. I still want to thank the organizers for bringing the art and with such a great visual and sound in San Francisco and i hope for your next venue , you guys will pick up a better venue and pay little more attention to details.

They offer a beautiful display. For those who don't realize what the show is, you're directed towards a big room with blank walls and the show is projected on all four walls and the floor. It has lovely music and an interesting trippy flowing montage of Van Gogh's work. There's little circles 6 ft apart from each other where you can gather with your group and a few benches here. Unfortunately, this location pales in comparison to many other Van Gogh displays. There's nothing on the ceiling. There's almost nothing aside from the display area and the big gift shop - But they do have a couple cute selfie displays before and after and a neon Van Gogh art piece on one wall. This venue doesn't have much else going for it, so they're making do the best they can. It's a pretty show, VIP gets you a cushion to sit on, a poster, and access to a raised viewing platform - That platform is open to all at some other shows.

This would be the first Immersive experience for me. I love going to art exhibits/museum. When this came out I wanted to experience it right away. When we came in it had already started so we stayed for another showing. It good that you can come in whenever because the show loops over and over. It's not bad, it's a very different experience in looking at art. I looked at peoples reviews and I noticed they didn't like the moving pieces. I actually do like it. It made me feel like I was there in that time period. I was still able to see the details of his paintings. They are beautiful!!! Things I did not like are: seating/standing area. Sometimes I felt like I was in the way of someone else so we moved a couple of times. It's one big room so you just don't know where to stand. Not much information said about the art, so if you're not familiar with Van Gogh you've got to do your own research. At the end of the show you can go down and shop for some items, they don't have much selection but they have some stuff like posters, notebooks, tumblers, magnets etc. Overall, it was a great experience. I totally recommend it. I give them 3.5 star, I know there's no half star. They got 3.5 because it was uncomfortable being a one large room. Note: I suggest taking Bart train so you don’t have to worry about parking in the city.

We were told to park in the garage across from city hall. It worked for us. Don't wear heels or pants that touch the ground. Omg DO NOT wear flip flops! Actually if possible you should hover. It wasn't a long walk but we passed by a few piles of poop on either side of the street.
